Too bad that we didn't have much time to cover necessary ground. :( As promised, here are the links to the...

One of the key design concepts in achieving this is "inversion of control" or the dependency injection pattern . While I do mostly .NET stuff these days, I still dabble with PHP projects from time to time...

At first I couldn't understand why TDD evangelists would say that a test should start at "red" (or even fail to compile at all) before you put in code that will make the test pass or go "green."
